General Debate statements

52 statements to the General Debate since 1974, 146,881 words in all. The longest was 1985, at 5,968 words, delivered by Mr. Choudhtury.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×17, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×10, Deputy Prime Minister ×2, Chief Adviser of the interim Government ×1. Earlier years are excluded because UN records do not consistently identify a speaker’s post before 1994, and counting those years as though they did would make any state look as though it sent nobody senior.
